Dr_-_PiKaChU Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) While Tennessee’s COVID-19 vaccination plan has been praised for being among the first in the U.S. to incorporate social inequities as a consideration for distribution, the data collected by the state on demographics and ethnicity of the recipients – data which could help indicate success of this planning factor – was incomplete. The data collected in the first month of vaccination shows that 44% of the administered doses didn’t specify the race of the patient and 31% didn’t mention the ethnicity, according to the state’s health department. Even though Tennessee said it was working on the problem, it’s not releasing county-level demographic data about who is getting the vaccine.
